>Have you tried an 8-point socket (Sears) and a breaker bar ? That's

plenty to either take the plug out or twist it off. If it does twist it
off, it's time to start drilling for oil !

If someone has previously rounded off the plug with a Cresent wrench you
may have to file the burrs before the socket will fit.
Also, if the plug is a 1/2 inch square you can take a 1/2 inch drive socket
and put it on backwards. Use a 9/16 socket and a 3/8 coupler nut (or 7/16
check the size) and put a wregular wrench on that.

P.S. I have spare oil pans if it comes to that.
